About This Item
London : William Heinemann, 1903. First edition. "Thick yellow fog, and in consequence electric light to dress by and breakfast by, was the opening day of the year. Never, to anyone who looks at this fact in the right spirit, did a year dawn more characteristically ... We blindly groped on the threshold of the future". A writer's year, month by month, in part reflection, in part fiction. "There's an unexpectedness about Mr. E. F. Benson which is not the least portion of his charm ... We have admired Mr. Benson often: we have never learned to know him so well or to appreciate his craftmanship so fully" (Manchester Courier, 14th April 1903). Crown 8vo (20cm). [viii],(288) + [xxxii]pp. Original decorative sand cloth, blocked and lettered in black and red; some very minor wear; mild tanning of endpapers; a few leaves slightly creased, but otherwise a very good copy.
